ABOUT THE CAST

Playhouse favorite, Jaclyn Helms (Evita, Carousel) steps into the title role in this year's restaging. Siblings Gerda and Kai are brought to life by Brooke Bradley and Hao Feng, respectively. Rounding out the cast will be Erik Abrahamsen, Monty Davis, and JD Myers as the trouble-making trio of trolls.

ABOUT THE SNOW QUEEN and the DESIGN TEAM

From the classic Hans Christian Andersen tale that inspired FROZEN, The Snow Queen illuminates the wintry Serenbe woods with the whimsical story of love's sovereign power over evil. Gerda overcomes her own fears on a journey to save her brother, Kai, from the Snow Queen's powerful enchantment, before the Snow Queen's icy spirit overtakes Kai's heart.

"It is so exciting to bring to life the literature that inspired the mega-hit FROZEN, which helped tons of kids and adults alike to 'Let It Go' and embrace what makes them different!", says restaging director, Ryan Oliveti. "It has been great fun to take a break from the stress of the world and work on a show that is all about melting a frozen heart into pure joy. This piece is a wonderful reminder that there's nothing better then snuggling up with family, friends, and hot chocolate during the holidays!"

Back after two sold-out seasons, this Playhouse holiday tradition is beloved by kids from one to ninety-nine. This striking adaptation where love beats cynicism, and celebrates with a snowfall, is a true crowd favorite that marks the end the year for Serenbe Playhouse.

The creative team also includes original sound & lighting design by Adam Howarth, and costume design by Erik Teague.
